Belleek shamrock Bread Plate

Shamrock Tableware, with its basket weave, is a timeless design first created in the 1880’s. The simplicity of the pattern is based on the weave used in wickerwork baskets, once a common feature of both town and country. The design also cleverly uses the stems of the shamrocks to shape such features as the handles and details of design. You can see this on the subtle handles of the bread plate. The twig painted handles date back to the original Shamrock tea set, a true classic!  Measures about 11" diameter. Handcrafted in Ireland.
